A Vulgar Look at Economics

This economics article is full of vulgar language, only some of it exaggerated.  I am intrigued that someone else is searching history for other situations in which the wealth gap was large and growing, and the powerful rich people didn't care who got hurt.  James Howard Kunstler is reminded of the French Revolution.

I would really, really rather solve political and economic problems rationally than with violence.

Find and read "Web of Debt" - a lot of what is wrong will start to make sense.

I went into it very sceptically, but found it made a lot of sense. Particularly as the 3rd edition was written about 2004 (or thereabouts) and the things it was predicting were actually happening as I was reading.

Happy to send you a pdf copy if you can't find it anywhere. I hope it's still in print.
